Avatar: The Way of Water Disney+ Release Date: J(Originally released December 16, 2022) The truth may be much less interesting, but the legend is colorful, heartwarming and surprisingly fun. The movie also addresses cultural issues and injustice with admirable honesty. To its credit, Flamin’ Hot at least acknowledges Montañez’s propensity for exaggeration, and uses that to endearing effect. He presents the idea to CEO Roger Enrico (Tony Shaloub) as a Hail Mary bid to save the factory. That’s when Montañez-inspired by his younger son’s love of spicy elote-develops the idea for a spicy snack flavoring that will appeal to Latinx customers. In the 1980s, a recession endangers the factory’s future, and that hanging threat persists into the early ‘90s. Eventually, Montañez gets a janitor job at the Rancho Cucamonga Frito-Lay factory, where he ingratiates himself to the plant’s head mechanic (Dennis Haysbert), eager to learn the inner workings of the machines that make and package the snacks. As a teen, Montañez becomes a drug dealer, frequently on the wrong side of the law until Judy gets pregnant and they both decide to go straight. They bond over their shared identity as Mexican American kids surviving abusive fathers. He meets his supportive wife Judy (Annie Gonzalez) when they’re both in elementary school. Flamin’ Hot gives us the arc of Montañez’s (Jesse Garcia) life from farmworker kid through his rise up the ranks at Frito-Lay. In Eva Longoria’s hands, helped with a script from Lewis Colick and Linda Yvette Chávez, the movie is a tale of ingenuity and determination that reflects a love for Mexican American culture, without lionizing (at least, not too much) the corporate product at its center. If you’re okay with the fact that most of Montañez’s story-which the film presents as truth-is total fiction, let’s move on to the good news: Flamin’ Hot is pretty charming. Let’s start with the bad news: In all likelihood, Richard Montañez did not invent Flamin’ Hot Cheetos.
